Reading confirm sale completed to Asian consortium

Reading have completed the sale of the club to an Asian consortium.

Sir John Madejski, who has been at the helm in Berkshire since 1990, revealed in a statement on the club's website that everything was finalised to end months of uncertainty, which saw majority shareholder Anton Zingarevich leave the board in June.

"I am delighted to announce that, following confirmation from the Football League, our new Asian consortium partners are now in place at Reading Football Club," he said on the club's official website.

"After months of tireless hard work and a lot of speculation, I am very pleased to say that Reading Football Club's future has been resolved."

Khun Narin Niruttinanon bought a 50 per cent stake, Khunying Sasima Srivikorn took 25 per cent and Khun Sumrith Thanakarnjanasuth bought the remaining 25 per cent.
